Periods When to Make Money
(Periods of Making Money)
He is from the work of a person named 'Samuel Benner' in 1875, one of the first to attempt to predict economic cycles. The scheme is based on a cyclical pattern that repeats over time, dividing time into three main categories:
Explanation of the three categories in the scheme:
🅰️ A - Years of Panic
They represent the years when economic crises or 'financial panics' occur.
The author believes these years repeat in a certain pattern (approximately every 18-20 years).
Example: 1927, 1945, 1965, 1981, 1999, 2019, 2035, 2053.
🔺 It is advised not to buy or invest in them.
🅱️ B - Years of Good Times, High Prices
These are referred to as the best times to sell stocks, real estate, and goods.
They typically occur just before panic years.
Example: 1926, 1935, 1945, 1962, 1980, 1989, 2007, 2016, 2034, 2043.
🅲️ C - Years of Hard Times, Low Prices
The worst economic periods, but the best times to buy.
Ideal for buying stocks, land, commodities, then holding them until the 'prosperity period' (B) begins.
Example: 1924, 1931, 1942, 1951, 1958, 1969, 1978, 1985, 1996, 2005, 2012, 2023, 2032, 2039, 2050.
💡
The goal of the manuscript:
To keep it and use it as a reference for market cycles:
In C years: you buy.
In B years: you sell.
In A years: you avoid the market or prepare for a crash.
⚠️ Important Notes:
This is not a precise tool for economic prediction, but it is based on historical analysis of economic cycles.
It reflects a past view of time that the economy moves in regular cycles, but the modern reality is more complex due to central bank interventions and geopolitical developments.
🧠 Practical Use:
The year 2023, for example, is classified as (C): a buying opportunity.
The year 2026 is classified as (B): a selling time.
The year 2035 is classified as (A): expect a crisis or economic collapse.
Here is a future calendar based on the analysis of 'Samuel Benner' extending from 2024 to 2053, showing the suitable periods for selling, buying, or waiting.

Owner of the Manuscript🧑🏻🌾Author:
Samuel T. Benner
(Few sources document his full name or detailed information about his life)
📜
About him:
He was an American farmer living in Ohio.
He was heavily influenced by the Great Financial Crisis known as the Panic of 1873, which was one of the worst economic crises of the 19th century.
After losing a large part of his wealth in that crisis, he decided to study economic cycles, especially in financial markets and commodity prices.
📘
His most famous works:
In 1875, he published a manuscript titled:
“Benner’s Prophecies of Future Ups and Downs in Prices”
(Benner's Prophecies of Future Price Ups and Downs)
What the manuscript contains:
Analysis of economic cycles extending over decades.
A predictive table forecasting years of financial panic, price rises, and periods of decline.
Recommendations for buying or selling based on the year.
Heavy reliance on 'recurring cycles' in the economy, not on detailed economic analysis.
🔁
The cycle on which he based his analysis:
11-year cycle of iron prices
27-year cycle of panics and crashes
He used simple mathematics and historical observations to create a cyclical model.
📊
Were his predictions accurate?
Interestingly, some of the 'panic' or 'prosperity' periods he predicted actually coincided with real events in American economic history.
However, many economists consider them closer to symbolic models or general prophecies, not precise scientific tools.
🧠 Why is not much known about him?
Samuel Benner was not an academic economist, but an ordinary person who used his personal experience and analysis of the past to attempt to predict the future.
His name did not spread much outside the realm of investors interested in 'cyclical periods.'
